Approximately half the oxygen-rich AGB stars to be investigated spectroscopically exhibit a feature at 13 [mu]. The carrier of this feature has not yet been unequivocally identified, but has been attributed to various dust ...

This research presents a study of biological self-assembly in which we create 3D living functional tissue structures by exploiting the self organizing capacity of cells and tissues. Tissues composed of adhesive and motile ...

Post-Newtonian relativistic theory of astronomical reference frames based on Einstein's general theory of relativity was adopted by the General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union in 2000. This theory is ...

In this thesis, we develop statistical mechanical models for the folding of simple RNA tertiary structures. The focus is on the calculation of the tertiary structure conformational entropy. The key idea of the method is ...
